Happy Labor Day.  From Wikipedia:  Labor Day “…honors the American labor movement and the contributions that workers have made to the strength, prosperity, laws and well-being of the country…”

CO MUSIC & MEDIA FOR HOUSTON

I’ve had the well being of our brothers and sisters in TX on my mind this past week.  Last Monday we launched CO MUSIC & MEDIA for HOUSTON on Facebook.  To date almost six hundred people have signed up to participate in mobilizing to help professional working musicians in TX affected by the flood.

Over the past week, a number of volunteers have begun to successfully move the mission forward. Our first organizational meeting is Tuesday Sept 5. We’ll build committees and begin the actual work of getting this all done.

Our 1st INFORMATION/ENTERTAINMENT EVENT is on Friday SPT 15 at the Oriental Theater.  I’m honored that my friends John Magnie, Steve Amadee and Tim Cook (the subdudes) will be appearing as the 3 Twins…. along with two of Denver’s true legacy artists – Mollie O’Brien and Rich Moore …joined by (to the best of my knowledge) the only blues-folk artist alive using a dulcimer as their primary instrument – Sofie Reed.

The 2nd INFORMATION/ENTERTAINMENT EVENT will be Sunday SPT 17 at Dazzle Jazz in the Baur building Denver from 6-9 featuring Channel 7 News anchor Shannon Ogden and guests tba.
